What can I use to remove permanent marker from my skin?

Answer 1

actually not much, but give it a few days and it will disappear. if you are desperate then try some rubbing alcohol or one of those alcohol wipes. if you have access to some vodka or thunderbird (!) try that. i work in a lab where we have 100% ethanol, that takes off the sharpie ink really well! (or maybe I just imagine the ink coming off after breathing that stuff and getting drunk just off the vapors!) ;_))))

Answer 2

Rubbing Alcohol

Answer 3

You could try Lysol basin tub and tile FOAM cleaner. And Avon skin so soft oil rub on when you skin is dry let set a couple seconds and rub off. Repeat as needed.

Answer 4

try a little eucluptus oil ,rub it on the marker, it is great for getting out all sorts of hard to remove oil and stains, on all sorts of things

Answer 5

Scrub with soap. It's only permanent on paper and like things you need to write on, it comes off skin.

Answer 6

I get in on myself all the time it comes off within a couple of days . Don,t use anything caustic. You could try hairspray.
I clean a lot so if it is on the hands it disappears quickly . Good Luck

Answer 7

Sounds horrible, but if any of the other suggestions don't work, I use an SOS pad to gently exfoliate some of the stained skin off. Obviously, don't scrub down to the bone.

Answer 8

Rub rock salt and lemon juice into the ink on your skin. If it is really stubborn, add some bi-carbonate of soda after washing of the lemon juice.

Answer 9

well i have a great idea, use acetone otherwise know as nail polish remover. This will take it off just remeber to wash it and put some lotion on it

Answer 10

Time and showers.

If you're tempted to use any other cleaner, check the label first to see what it says to do (or who it says to call for help) if you get it on your skin.
